Hi. I am new to WordPress and the Downloads Manager plugin so excuse me if my questions are uninformed. WordPress is runing under Microsoft Server 2016 (IIS). I have thousands of media files that I want to make available for selected users to view, use and download. The files are located on a specific fileserver different form the web server
organized under media types, directories and sub categories and are all available on the LAN through windows shares (SMBs). I can not find out how to make these files available for download in the File manager after having searched extensively for a recipe on how to include the SMB directory/file structure. I do not want to move the files and was hoping that the download manager somehow was able to access them directly and provide tools for browsing them, select directories or single files and provide management of the actual download. Can someone point me in the right direction? Either through a step by step tutorial or documentation with examples?
On thought I had was to enable WEBDAV in the Windows Server 2016 and mount the SMBs of interest as network drives on the server and make them available through WordPress to obtain user authorization etc
I’ve just started using the plugin (paid version) and setting up the pages, etc. I uploaded a file from admin panel to test on front-end dashboard, but i cannot see “All downloads/packages” listed, and neither found a way to configure it.
Here’s my front-end panel for a “marketing” custom user-role (attachment file):
I am developing locally, so if you need more info feel free to ask.
The categories Private and his sub-categories have access reserved to Subscriber and Administrator.
First Question:
Sabrina is a subscriber user.
Why when Sabrina is logged, she doesn’t see anything (public or private) on her user Profile? https://www.projectstorys.eu/bir/user-profile/
But if a visitor not logged views the puplic downloads?
I’ve updated to the new version. All of my downloads are broken. Most are showing as 0kb and when users click “download” nothing happens or it downloads a “link-expired.txt” file.
Please help.
Copied the format from here with the [cols=1] format inside the short code, and it worked (for the most part).
When the width of the page is between 767 and 992, the single column becomes two columns. A page width of less than 767, and a page width of greater than 992 pixels results in the desired format.
This result is the same both with and without the above CSS code.
Please use [wppm_downloadarea] shortcode to show all membership downloads to the user. It will only show the files from membership plan the user is subscribed to.
The membership downloads are listed in user dashboard too ( In Membership Items tab ). You do not need to create a separate page if you have the user dashboard page ( [wpdm_user_dashboard fav=1 flaturl=0 captcha=0] ).
Please install and check your Email problem with WP Mail SMTP plugin. Try to check the spam box, if the mail is treated as spam. And which version of the addon are you using? Please use the latest version.
Also, check the template from Downloads Templates Email Templates (email lock)
Thanks
Maybe you used custom code update in the file. After the plugin update, the file changed. So the link is disabled. For custom code update, You need to copy the file from \plugins\download-manager\tpls\wpdm-all-downloads.php and put this file into the active theme/download-manager/ wpdm-all-downloads.php, then the update will not affect the template file. More details here.
Now, After the update you can use cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" with the shortcode so the page link will be desplayed with the title. So you can use page_link instead of title in the cols.
Here is my code:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="50" categories="access-platforms-gangways,bus-rv,overhead-fall-protection" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="ASC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|package_size|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|File Size|Link" download_link="1"]
I don´t want to download add-ons and install it again, if they were installed before and disappear after updates, which was the case in here !? This is to my mind extremely inconvenient, because I have to remember all installed items and the user is confused and is asking me, where are the menu items to edit his downloads.
I have done a clean install of WDDP Pro and the WPDM – Custom Access Level plug in. The download plug-in (short code: [wpdm_my_downloads login=1 cols=”1″]) creates a download column that is too narrow and causes wrap around and an overlapping button (See Screenshot). How can I make the file size column more narrow and the download column larger?
Allready tried that.
Download speed is set to 4096KB/s also tried a higher speed but no performance change.
Also Resumable Downloads and Output Buffering are enabled. still low speeds.
I have created frontend upload ( create new package ) form here http://www.luxury-italian-office.com/fashion-brands/frontend-upload/
It is working without any issue. I have used frontend-upload as page slug here. You can’t use download as your page slug because it is the URL base for your packages/downloads.
